  1. Google search Jay Bennett Wilco amplifier or effects and you will get a story from Guitar Player circa Summerteeth which discusses what was used for that album. I don't recall offhand, but a good question.

  2. I had a buddy with a Led Zep tribute basement where we used to jam and imbibe as we got older.

     

    Very similar to Wilco in that each Zep album has its own timbre to it.

     

    I - almost entirely hard blues

    II - very similar but a step up in recording and sound expansion

    III - Very varied with some great acoustic stuff, some blues, and some rockers - "Celebration Day" is better live though.

    IV - You already know most of it from Classic rock radio - hold off if you are looking for something new

    Houses - Change in musicianship - very production based - Less straight forward rockers

    Physical Graffiti - my favorite - underplayed and undervalued in the mainstream. Unbelievable with headphones - great soundscapes - blew my mind when I was fifteen

    Presence - It's OK - some great ones - Achilles Last Stand is some of Jimmy's best guitar work - you can tell they are getting older

    In through the Out door - just more maturing Zep - which I don't know is a good thing

     

    I have the DVD of the several concerts as well as the BBC cd - They are quite wothwhile.

  3. That was the most anti-climactic season, and in this case series, finale I have ever had the displeasure of casting mine critic's eye upon in many years. It seems that some cocksucker, not knowing the difference between a piece d'art and a heaping pile of shit has decided to cease production of my entertainment without appropriate consultation. Oh well, I guess I'll just slit a whore's throat to assuage the tension rising up from my fucking gullet like a tidal wave of piss.

  4. I went through a separation in June 2001, which was on and off through Thanksgiving of 2002. During that time my wife, whom I married in '96, stayed in our duplex, and I lived in my parents 2000 sq. ft. basememt family room. I went through moments of rage, sadness, shame, embarassment, etc., We hired attornies, and had the ball rolling, but never went through with it, and eventually totally reconciled. I feared that I was going to go through a horrible depression, but what got me through, besides Zoloft and buying waaaaay too many guitars, was a dedication to our daughter, and making every decision on what was best for her. I reconnected with friends, joined a gym, and didn't allow myself to dwell on it as anything but a chapter in my life which I would get through.

     

    So, best of luck, remember to breathe, and always consider your child first in every choice, and you will emerge from this.

  5. Bought my tix today for Manchester NH. Taking the wife and 6 year old daughter so she can say she saw Dylan before he dies.

     

    As those of you attend preceding shows, please post any comments and reviews so as I can prepare my self and family.

     

    BTW I have been blaring 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue double CD and it may be one of the greatest things I have ever heard.
